There are two of them. 

I don't know a mechanical way to 'solve' for them.

One can be found by trial and error:

x=0 . . . . . 2^0 = 1 . . . . . 4(0) = 0 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=1 . . . . . 2^1 = 2 . . . . . 4(1) = 4 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=2 . . . . . 2^2 = 4 . . . . . 4(2) = 8 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=3 . . . . . 2^3 = 8 . . . . . 4(3) = 12 . . . . no, that doesn't work
<em>x=4</em> . . . . . 2^4 = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . 4(4) = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . Yes !  That works !       yay !

For the other one, I constructed tables of values for 2^x and (4x)
in a spread sheet, then graphed them, and looked for the point
where the graphs of the two expressions cross.

The point is near, but not exactly,         <em>x = 0.30990693...

</em>
If there's a way to find an analytical expression for the value, it must involve
some esoteric kind of math operations that I didn't learn in high school or
engineering school, and which has thus far eluded me during my lengthy
residency in the college of hard knocks.<em> </em> If anybody out there has it, I'm
waiting with all ears.<em>

2^{x} = 4x \\ln(2^{x}) = ln(4x) \\\frac{xln(2)}{ln(2)} = \frac{ln(4x)}{ln(2)} \\x = 4

Find the indicated IQ score. The graph to the right depicts IQ scores of​ adults, and those scores are normally distributed with
larisa86 [58]

Based on the mean, standard deviation, and the graph, the indicated IQ score would be 115.

<h3>What is the indicated IQ score?</h3>

First, find the z value:

P(Z<z) = 1 - tail value

= 1 - 0.1587

= 0.8413

According to the z-value, this gives a value of:

z = 1

The indicated IQ score is:

= mean + z value z standard deviation

= 100 + 1 x 15

= 115

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

To do this I am pretty sure your going to have to do some hard calculations.

<u><em>Lets go deeper</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

so because it is a rectangle every angle is a right angle according to the property of a rectangle.

A right angle is 90 degress

So 8x+18=90
90-18=72

8x=72

72/8=9

x=9
